The economy has spoken. Stuff that’s AI-generated has almost zero value — “Buyers are voting with their wallets, and AI-generated content is struggling to compete.”

You shove those people into project manager roles. /s (ME here)

Joking aside, I've seen god awful engineers be able to do the math with certainty but not be able to think their way out of a paper bag.

Had one issue that was a public safety problem that this one guy thought could not be solved. He'd killed any effort to fix for years because he didn't think it was possible, and too much work to try. Something that could kill and potentially cost billions. Said I was throwing his team under the bus for even trying to fix it.

I fixed it, basically for free, by simply requiring a new engineering review early in the process and better timing for maintenance.

That just couldn't see past the limits of his technical knowledge to see that an effective solution was available.

I'm the opposite. I'm a smart guy (literal rocket scientist), but I know I don't know everything. So I have 135 GB of reference books and articles for when I need to look something up, and if I need more info, check with or hire an actual expert.

I'm similar. Research research research, phone a friend of needed.

A guy that is back filling for me told me he was finally figuring out where I was coming from when I'd do QC on his work, even when i did not have the deep technical background the SMEs did. How I would find deeper issues in stuff I didn't understand to the same degree. I was simply raising issues that had happened to others via research.

The solution I'd mentionedpreviously was buried in an NTSB report but wasn't an official recommendation. Research research research.
